"I was let go before I went on the show because they said I didn't meet the job requirements."

That's an excuse that Johnson isn't buying.

"How did she meet the requirements to get the job and then not meet them after she was hired?" he asked.

Happened to me last October. I'd been with the company 5 1/2 years(Would have been 6 at the end of January), and in my current position for about 4 of those years. Suddenly, my boss comes into town and tells me that I no longer meet the requirements for the position. No option to train up, and I had been denied tuition reimbursement about 2 years before. It happens. In my position, I think they were going for more of a network admin at my local office.

The next steps are clearly for them to make a porn video together to begin to 'make ends meet' (no pun intended, could also be the title), and then for some enterprising moviemaker to make an R-rated comedy about the making of said porn movie, and then for Vivid to make a meta porn spoof about the R-rated comedy about the homemade porn movie that was made to make up for the loss of the collection.

Ed Willy:This is West Michigan, run by the "Dutch Mafia", ie, the Dutch Reform Calvinists. No surprise they would fire someone for something they didn't do.

Calvinism is the belief in predestined salvation - only a preselect few are saved. The rest of us are going to Hell because fark you, that's why. If you're saved, it doesn't matter what you do, because you'll still be saved. If you're not saved, it doesn't matter what you do, because you're still going to Hell. So why are Calvinists always such busybody prudes?

Dude, that's a polite firing. They'll do that so you can collect unemployment.

It was the weirdest thing ever, my ex-boss even sent me a 'How's everything working out?' email at New Year's...

Hatred of other people's fun is a clear sign of being among the chosen.

HotWingAgenda:Lsherm: Dude, that's a polite firing. They'll do that so you can collect unemployment.

You know what would be polite? Not firing him.

Well, I agree, but if you need to structure an employee leaving and you want to make sure they qualify for unemployment, you create a reason for them leaving that isn't an outright firing. If you're fired for cause, you can't get unemployment.

Mikey1969:It was the weirdest thing ever, my ex-boss even sent me a 'How's everything working out?' email at New Year's...

If I had to guess - they had someone else they wanted to give your job to, so they worked out a new requirement you couldn't possibly meet. Then when they let you go you were eligible for unemployment and they weren't on the hook for a lawsuit. Sadly, it's not a rare method for swapping out employees, even in non right-to-work states.

Governments will use another similar method, called "Reduction in Force" to justify getting rid of employees. It's the same procedure with a twist: they will eliminate an existing job or jobs because they aren't needed anymore, then create a new position to replace it but with different requirements. It will be the same job, but the person that held the old one has absolutely no chance of getting the new one.

We kind of thought the same thing... Everybody at the old job got the impression that my replacement knew the boss.
